Jeremiah Pruitte, a three-star recruit from Marietta, Georgia, became the eighth member of the Cardinals' 2019 recruiting class when he announced his commitment on Twitter.

Pruitte chose Louisville over Indiana, Purdue and others.

The Cards are filling a need at tight end in this recruiting class by adding Pruitte and Florida prospect Sam Snyder, who committed July 6. Louisville only has three scholarship tight ends on the roster entering the fall, and one, Micky Crum, is going into his last season. Kemari Averett and Jordan Davis are the others.

Louisville's recruiting class will stay low in the rankings, as none of the eight commitments are higher than three-star prospects in 247Sports.com's composite rankings.
